MIFFLINVILLE BRIDGE.
The County Commissioners have
sued the King Bridge Co. and its
bondsmen to recover the amount
paid that company for the super
structure of the Mifllinville bridge.
In 1901 the King Bridge o. con
tracted with the county for the
erection of the iron-work on the
bridge, and filed a bond for faith
ful performance. As the oritige
progressed money was paid them
from time to time. When the
third spnn was completed the ice
flood of 1902 carried the bridge
. . ! t it.
away. The commissioners paiu me
company the balance ot tue con
tract price, less tue cost 01 uie un
built span. The material was taken
out of the river and removed to the
factory at Cleveland.
The next session of the legisla
ture passed a law providing for the
erection of bridges over streams
more than 800 feet wide where an
nleted bridee has been swept
away by flood. The state is to erect
the bridge, and the county is 10
turn over to the state all the ma
terial of the former bridge, and the
unexpended balance ot the contract
price.
In advertising tor dius tue suue
announced that the contractor
chrii1d liave thp old material.
The contract was awarded to the
York Bridge Co. The King bridge
Co is therefore out of the deal, ex
cept that it has the old material and
the pay for part ot the oncige wnicu
it never delivered.

suit remains to be seen.
